[QUOTE="yobskin, post: 142993, member: 3898"] So after all that how much does it cost total? $$$$ Its $80+ for fossicking permit yearly. And im pretty sure people dont find $80 worth of anything? Most gold/gem fields in qld dont have water...let alone gold or gems. Im not guna open up a can of worms over dredging....but my little 3.5hp water pump and sluice box is tiny compared to 15 tonne mobile gold plants... :D This lovely HOBBY of ours cost enough for lil or no return highbankers/sluices arent machinery...... it is only no machinery for excavating/gathering material. Hand tools only no generators for electrical equipment/ nor accessive noise that disturbs fellow fossickers. Water pumps transfer water only not material....most fossickers wouldnt care about a little pump idleing away unless there jealous...correct me if im wrong :P [/QUOTE]
